HC Deb 08 February 1939 vol 343 c949
76. Mr. Kirby

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can now state how many men of all ratings mobilised during the September crisis, are still unemployed by reason of their former employers failing to reemploy them when they were demobilised?

Mr. Shakespeare

The number of reservists and pensioners who on demobilisation were not re-employed by their former employers and are known to be still out of employment is three.
